Website Comparision

For my Website Comparison assignment I chose two Savannah, Georgia news stations:


WSAV3
www.wsav.com

Savannah Now
www.savannahnow.com


After looking at both sites these are the results I came up with:

WSAV3:
  • Seems to be all headlines, so subheadings to "hook" you into the story. All grey color scheme as well. No way to distinct different categorized stories from one another.
  • Slideshow seems to be the main attraction of the page
  • Video and slideshows seem to more of a focus than actual written articles
  • Local & National categories, clearly labeled, no hierarchy of one from another 
  • Seems to have the larger staff because of more local and national coverage

Savannah Now

  • Clear headlines and subheadings to get you interested, blue/grey color scheme, headings in blue, updates in red.
  • Limited video and slideshows
  • Actual written articles seem to be the main focus
  • Seems to be more strictly local news
  • Almost no sign of National News besides in subcategories located near bottom
